Abstract:
With the rise of genomics, life sciences have entered a new era. This text provides a history of mapping procedures as they were developed in classical genetics. It shows the technology of genetic mapping is by no means a recent acquisition and demonstrates that the development of mapping technologies has accompanied the rise of modern genetics.
